Auditioners must register for one of the two dates, dress to move, and plan to
spend the entire two hours. Anyone wishing to audition as a singer should
prepare a short song. Experienced men are particularly encouraged; there may be
a limited number of Equity contracts available. Ages 18 and over only, please.
A small stipend is available for actors. For more information, email info@art-farm.org.

now here’s rundown of cinema off the beaten track here in central Connecticut.

Real Art Ways in Hartford is currently showing “The House I Live in,” capturing
heart-wrenching stories of individuals at all levels of America’s war on
drugs. Tonight Real Art Ways begins a run of “Like Someone In Love,” in
which a Tokyo student moonlighting as a call girl is dispatched to an elderly
new client interested in more than having sex. Details about all events can be
found at www.realartways.org

Also in Hartford at Cinestudio, the Trinity College Cinema, tonight continues a
special weeklong screening of Werner Herzog’s “Happy People: A Year in the
Taiga.” In 2010, Herzog discovered hours of film by Russian director Dmitry
Vasyukov, shot in an isolated Siberian taiga, documenting four seasons in a
small community of Yet people and their faithful dogs. Thursday and Sunday
afternoon, National Theater Live presents “People,” a satire in which Frances
de la Tour plays an aging aristocrat pining for the past.
Then Sunday night, it’s “56 Up.” In 1964, Michael Apted was a researcher for the
acclaimed documentary “Seven Up!,” that filmed fourteen British kids from the
working, middle, and upper classes. Each seven years, the now-director Apted
returns with his camera to revisit the same group, and the resulting series is
an intimate document of personality, class, and change. Details about all shows
can be found at cinestudio.org.
